ELECTRO35GT guaranteesthe correct exposureat
all times.However,it is recommendedto shoot color
photosin soft, diffusedsunlight.
I n the picture-taking of backlightedsubjectsor by
usinga filter, it is necessaryto adjust the ASA rating
of the f ilm in usefor correctexposure.
r5View original page 25Page 26 · Read text
The use of filter is advisablefor clear,crips pictures in
blazing sunlight, Snow Sceneor Summer beach,etc.
Make compensationfor filter factor by adjusting the
Film Speed Setting Dial when, for example, a ND2
filter is used or you take a picture of the backlighted
subject,in concert with an ASA 100 film, set the Dial
to "50" insteadof " 1 00."
For open views : Open views, such as d istant
landscape,Sea or SnoW Scenesusually have b lazing
sunlight. For better results, it is recommended to
adjust the ASA rating of the film in use to "160" or
"2O0" when, for example, the ASA 100 film is used.
Also, it is advisableto use a lens hood to cut off the
harmf ul ref lected light for more crisp pictures.
